Service was good, as always, and the ambiance is great. However, this was my first time eating at their new location, and the food quality is far below the high bar they set at the original spot. It looks like I'm not the only one who has noticed this serious drop in quality. read more

I've always wondered how a business could take something already great and make it even better. El Centro Market was absolutely amazing in their old location, but folks, hold onto your hats. Their new location is absolutely spectacular! It will completely blow you out of the water. Bravo to the team and the ownership of this great Mexican market.The street tacos are absolutely off the hook. They instantly reminded me of the authentic street tacos from my hometown in Mexico. And the Agua Frescas? By far the best I've ever tasted--they are definitely giving my hometown heroes a run for their money!Their freshly baked bread tasted exactly like it came from the local, wood-fired bakery just a few blocks from my home. Over at the deli counter, they have everything you could possibly imagine: fresh ceviche, guacamole, five different kinds of salsa, authentic Mexican sour cream, and carnitas that will make your head spin. As for the chicharrones... all I can say is oh my god, I died and went to heaven.Don't even get me started on the bakery section! From the Tres Leches and Arroz con Leche to the traditional flan, coco flan, and cookies, I felt like a kid in a candy store. To wrap it all up, the brand-new dining room is incredibly warm, welcoming, and bustling with both old and new patrons.If you're in Carson City, this is an absolute must-stop! read more

This last Tuesday I finally decided to come on in and check this place out. I never did go to the old store, but I knew they built a new one and I've been eager to try it. So this past taco Tuesday I thought would've been a great time to go ahead and do that. Walking in I couldn't believe how clean it is inside and how nice they arranged everything is it's so modern and very spacious. As you walk up, the menu is up above you and you kinda look at what you want. All the cooks are in the back doing their business. As I waited to place my order, I noticed the lady ahead of me that was ordering was having several issues making her payment with the server that was behind the register. It took long enough where I had to go to the register next to me with the same server because another person had to come up and resolve the issue. Little did, I realize that this server had very little experience and she must've been a new hire because she seemed lost. A real deer in the headlights look in her face. I placed my order and she had a really hard time understanding me. She brought me the wrong beer and couldn't seem to understand what I was wanting. It dawned on me that she doesn't speak English. However, I speak enough Spanish to where it should've been easy enough for her to understand what I was wanting. So I ordered two Carnitas tacos and a Modelo Especial for my sister and the same thing for myself, except I wanted a strip of chicharrone. Assuming she understood what I was wanting I paid for my food on the little kiosk that they have. It looked a little strange on the kiosk like the order was confused but I thought OK whatever I'm sure they'll get it right. Sitting down, I kept looking at my receipt thinking this isn't correct. But I thought I'll just work it out when the order comes. Which took forever to come. I'm not sure what the issue is, but the order took forever to get. It took long enough that I walked up to the counter and kind of stood there hoping they they'd get the hint. But nobody did. Everybody before me, and after me kept getting their orders and I'm just standing there. You would think somebody would say something and say can I help you sir or let me see your receipt and will help you out but nobody did. I finally said something and they said it's coming. Waiting again I waited a little bit longer. My sister's order finally came, but no order for me. That's when I finally spoke up and say hey I ordered this and that and I'm not getting it. A young man said no problem. I'll fix it for you which he did and I really appreciated it. I even offered to pay for it after I was done eating, which I did not mind doing. He said no problem. Don't worry about paying so I did not worry about it. I'm not sure what the problem with the cashier was, but it was very much an inconvenience. I'm not gonna tell anybody not to come here because I'm sure this might've been just so a weird incident. But I don't know if I'll be back I have another spot. I normally go to for taco Tuesday and it's always good. They know what I want and there's never a problem. Having said that the food was OK it wasn't anything spectacular. This was just my experience so I'm sure other people have great experiences here. read more

I have ordered on Doordash since they changed location, and I have to say, the quality of their food, at least what I have ordered, has taken a sharp dive in quality. A few weeks ago, I ordered a torta of carnitas. In the past, the tortas have been very good, this one was not. It had very little of the cárnitas, and one piece and only one small piece of avocado, the rest was all vegetables. Today, I ordered the shrimp burrito and a piece of flan. The burrito, in the past, had nice size shrimp and it was fresh. The burrito today had small, hard shrimp, and was filled with a lot of cabbage and other vegetables. It tasted nothing like it did before. And the flan was subpar also, they arent using the right kind of milk, so the flan isnt smooth, it has a lot of bubble holes, and the flavor was very blah. This used to be one of my favorite places to order Mexican, but unless the quality of the food improves, I'll be going elsewhere. read more

This review is for the service deli restaurant of the new Centuro. This is my first time here as I usually get burritos at Playa Azul more towards the center of town. The store seem like a typical Mexican supermarket. I go over to the deli counter. Seems like the person is taking orders and speaks English well enough. I ask what's inside a Burrito? She tells me beans, rice, onions cilantro and the meat you choose. What? NO cheese included? She answers, cheese is extra. What the hell, who ever heard of a burrito with no cheese included? OK, I add cheese for 50 cents more. The prices seem reasonable, compared to Playa Azul where cheese is included. It's $9.50 here plus 50 cents for the cheese. OK, I'm good with that. What brings the star rating way down, enough for me not to come back, is the order on one lousy burrito took like 20 minutes or more to come out and this was like at 10:15 in the morning! Slapping together a burrito and rollin it takes no more than a few minutes, I've seen it done (not here). Watching, looks like they have a lot of to go orders they're making first and tossing them under the counter to be picked up later. Makes more sense to make the orders of the people waiting at the counter BEFORE to go orders where the customer is not even here! Forget this stupid service waiting that long! The burrito on top of that was MISSING the damn cheese I paid extra for! It was rolled and wrapped kind loose and was not stable to eat like other burrito places. The dining area was fine to eat at, but just getting the food was the problem and it wasn't made correctly! Forget this Centuro Market for made deli food. read more

I love coming to Mexican markets that have an attached kitchen, the food is fresh and you can pick up some essentials for your cocina while getting tacos or a burrito. I came in with some friends on a late evening and the place was still busy. Some items are a la carte, so you can try a number of different things without having to worry about combos. The tacos are on the small side, but that is great too because you can try more options! I ordered 4 tacos pastor, they were juicy and flavorful. I could have had more, but it was enough to satisfy me. I also got a large horchata, it was made fresh and was delicious! It could have been filtered a little better, it was a touch gritty, but that is the only thing I would have changed in my whole meal. Next to the kitchen there is a seating area to enoy your meal. Come and get a burrito, tacos, a torta, or a combo, pick up some groceries and have a great meal. read more

Centro Market, where Authentic Mexican Flavor and Great People Meet Centro Market is one of those hidden gems that every community needs. It's the place where you can find all your favorite Mexican products, from pan dulce (a total necessity in cold weather!) and champurrado, to ceviche, chicharrones, burritos, enchiladas, cakes, and all the authentic ingredients for home cooking, mole sauce mix, ripe plantains, prickly pears, and fresh corn masa for tortillas or tamales. Basically, if you need it for your Mexican dishes, or South American cooking, they've got it. But the real reason I'm finally writing this (long overdue) review is because of Hector, the butcher at Centro Market, truly an OG. All I have to do is describe what I need, and he makes it happen. Recently I wanted thin lamb steaks to grill alongside my asada...done. (Just a tip: the lamb is frozen, so plan ahead if you want it for grilling.) In the past , I've asked for a pig head cut in half for tamales and guess what? He made that happen too. There's honestly nothing the gentlemen in the meat department won't do to help. They're hardworking, efficient, and always willing to go the extra mile. On top of that, they set such a great vibe in the store. It's not unusual to find Hector behind the counter singing along to Juan Gabriel or another classic tune. That kind of energy makes every visit feel like a small celebration of culture and community. Centro Market isn't just a store, it's a piece of home. Note: The store will be relocating sometime after the holidays -- possibly in January -- near the Dairy Queen area on Hwy 50. So keep an eye out for their new location and continue supporting this amazing team! read more

This place hit the spot! The fresh tortillas were great. Loved the quesabirria, Al pastor, and carnitas. Fish taco was ok. Salsas were good. Tamale de elote was new for me- a cold sweet tamale which was interesting. Definitely want to come back and try the burritos too! read more

Their kitchen is open early and just as their doors open the lines pile in just as quick. I'm in love with this new location, their old location was a lot smaller and parking was limited and a pain to get around. My sister in law and I came by for a big catering order for my niece's birthday last month. We ordered a tray of carnitas, a tray of asada, one of beans and another of Mexican rice and red and green salas. Everything was amazing and our guests were able to pack food to-go. The employees that helped us were all so friendly and helpful. We ended up ordering tacos and a burrito to-go. They have seating available for dine-in, so we enjoyed it fresh and hot. We were amazed the entire time we were in this store that their line never died down. I can't wait to come back and eat there. I had to stop by their bakery on the way out for pan dulce for my family. I stole a bite of the old man's concha. This kitchen and bakery are top tier. If you're hungry and craving fresh authentic Mexican food in Carson stop by Centro Market. I highly recommend their catering. Too bad I don't live in Carson, otherwise I'd frequent this spot. I can't wait to go back. read more

There were two employees a man and a woman stocking in the bath/soap section around 8 tonight. I needed some soap and I said "excuse me, I just needed some soap", The lady was really nice and said "sorry!" But the Hispanic man with black hair and black glasses was very rude, He copped an attitude and said "excuse you". I've experienced rudeness from another Hispanic lady with blonde highlights cleaning the booths saying that to me when I was sitting wearing for my burrito. Some employees have rude customer service. I honestly don't like coming here due to the poor customer service. Edit: I found out The rude man employee name is Andrew. read more

Got centro market for the first time as a to go meal and we liked it! I got a veggie burrito and added Guac, cheese and sour cream. I feel these ingredients usually already come on a veggie burrito so I was surprised go have to pay extra for them. The burrito was HUGE. Overall pretty good but a little salty. My husband got an Al pastor burrito and also added Guac, sour cream and cheese. He liked it but wished the ingredients were a little more evenly mixed. He said all the Guac was just at the end of his burrito for example. We also got the fresas con crema and they were divine. One of my favorite desserts. read more

Carne Asada Tacos? Yes, Yes, Yes. Damn that habanero salsa. It had a kick! Wonderfully so. The green salsa was an all around winner. Thank you to the wonderful ladies behind the counter for doing flour tortillas and giving us the salsa tasting. Nice seating area off the order area welcoming, clean, and good vibes. Definitely a keeper! Hit the spot! read more

If you are looking for an awesome Mexican market in Carson look no further. I could spend this whole review on just the hot food section. The store is fairly large and and as far as I can tell as a non-Mexican expert there is tons of selection of grocery items here for you. I really liked the layout as you entered the store and it was very colorful. The show stealer for me was the hot food area where you could get what appeared to be almost anything you could think of prepared, and it smelled absolutely delicious. On this particular day I was there in scout of morning pastries as I've been on a kick to try different bakeries. They had a large available pastry section. We will be back to try some of the hot food and browse the aisles more in the future! read more

Market has a TON of great options, including pick your own dried peppers and in-house made beef jerky. We went for lunch and got fresh baked bread (50 cents and still warm, such a deal) and tacos, burritos and a quesadilla. The asada taco was the best, I'd skip the pastor and carnitas. Chicken quesadilla was the best thing on the menu and the cheese / sour cream dipping sauce was delicious. read more

There is nothing a normal ENGLISH SPEAKING person can buy in the store. They sell only to SPANISH SPEAKING customers. Same at the cafeteria. Just go across the street to FOODMAXX !

Went to get tamales at the new market on opening day. I knew it would be busy but that's what my wife wanted. Worst service I've ever had at the deli counter. Apparently if you don't look Hispanic be prepared to get skipped as the help everyone around else around you who does look Hispanic. I will not be returning here ever again. If you manage this place feel free to contact me and explain yourself. read more

Holy moly I haven't ordered a thing here I don't absolutely love. My go to is the 19.99 lb of carnitas, lb of rice and lb of beans with pico- can't beat the price and their carnitas is out of this world good. Hubs loves their carne asada. We stop in every time we are in Carson! read more

Great little store. They have lingua, my favorite dish to prepare. Looking forward to going back and really exploring the store.

Best street tacos and torta in town. Not sure why this doesn't have better reviews. Do some shopping while you wait for your food, great butcher shop as well. read more

I paid $54 for 2 dozen tamales that were not very good! So I won't be ordering tamales anymore, anyhow I always enjoy the asada tacos.

Our friends live in Carson City and highly recommended this place to us for lunch! This is a market where you can get groceries but they also have a kitchen where they make delicious Mexican food. Ordering at the counter was a bit overwhelming, the menu is on a display screen but kept changing as I was trying to order. It would be helpful to have a screen that does not change, or at least have printed versions of the menu. The staff talk very fast and were obviously in a hurry during their busy lunch crowd, so it felt pretty rushed trying to order. My husband got the carne asada burrito with red sauce, I got carne asada fries, and we split two tacos (chicken and carnitas). The food was all delicious! Their meats were especially impressive and cooked so well. The salsas were very flavorful and made everything taste even better. I wasn't a huge fan of the carne asada fries, I wish they came with guacamole and some other additional toppings. You can purchase their salsas and guacamole in bulk here which is pretty cool. I wish I could've tried more and/or added some to my fries but I didn't really have time to ask if that was an option since they were moving through the line so fast. They also have some homemade drinks in giant jugs by the register, I got a horchata and it was so good! Extra sweet though, so probably not something everyone would like. Overall, this was a great find and I'm sure we will be back to try more next time we are down in Carson City. read more

My order was "78" on Tuesday night cinco de mayo excited to try the tacos. Unfortunately I was unable to try two of them since they didn't put them into the to go bag /( when I got home my birria taco (I did get the consume tho ) and a meat mix taco. My fault for not checking the bag ! :( Check your bag! I was too tired to call or go back read more

The prepared food is great! The store is well-stocked with all kinds of goodies and they have beautiful pastries and a well-supplied carniceria. The staff aren't always friendly. My son and I have gotten dirty looks for who knows why but we suspect that because of how we look we're expected to speak Spanish and when we don't we're met with disappointment. Idk if the same happens with White customers but I assume not. My partner is White and we still get dirty looks when we come in together. Those staff who are friendly and accommodating are greatly appreciated. Because of this we now rarely visit unless my son is craving their yummy quesabirrias. I refuse to spend my money in a place my family and I don't feel welcome. Do better, Centro! read more

Great food both the little cooked food counter with table to sit and eat and a fantastic meat counter.

I ordered from Centro via Door Dash. The food was great. I order a burrito and it had a great taste meat to tortilla ratio. The Asada (Carne Asada) burrito came with sour cream and onions, I added lettuce, pico de gallo and cheese for $11.24. It was hugh and I was not able to finish it. The tacos were loaded with meat that had great flavor top with cilantro on onions. I will definitely be order from here again!!! read more

Sometimes when bored I explore businesses. Centro has lots to be excited about. I bought a container of seafood ceviche, it was heaven. The store was clean and it was BUSY. I recommend this store for regular needs and if you like to try new things, I suggest you visit Centro Market. read more

They used to be so good. But the last few times I've been there. They clump up all the onions or cilantro in one big ball in the middle of the burrito, it's horrible. read more

I have never had a bad experience at Centro Market. The prepared food is as close as one can get outside of Mexico. This place is always extremely crowded. One problem I saw in 2024 reviews may be a communication issue. Quite a few employees don't speak fluent English. So please be patient and speak slowly and clearly when ordering. If you're going to the Butcher Department, walk from end to end and see what they have. If you're looking for something for a gathering that isn't out, ask about ordering the day before. And last but not least, smile and use PLEASE AND THANK YOU. I hardly ever hear these curious words spoken anymore. They will make a difference. read more

I had a party at our home for 40+ people and ordered the food from Centro Market. I love their meats, salsas, guac, etc. When I went to pick up my order the cashier told me to get a shopping cart to take it all to the car. I asked if anyone could assist and she said NO! After spending $400+ on food, you would think the service would be better. With that being said ~ the food was outstanding, all of our guests asked where I purchased it from and they all said they wanted to go on their own. Everything I received was excellent. I will use them again for sure but now I know to bring help to carry to car! read more

Leaving a review solely based on my experience over the phone with a team member. I called in the morning and it was very easy to get a hold of someone live which we all know is not very common these days. The person who answered was able to transfer me to the right department and they were kind enough to check if they had something in stock although they did not have it. They offered a suggestion for when to call back to see if they received it in their next shipment. Overall, very thankful for their professionalism and out of the box thinking read more

Love this Market!! Great meats and produce! Friendly check staff and meat counter employees!

The parking lot is super busy, small, awkward and hard to get back on the road when packed. Their raw meat from what I've ordered is good, pricey but good. Ranchera, smoked pork chops, diesmillo, and others. I love the thick with meat, fat, chicharon. I cut into thinner pieces and air fry, make corn tortillas, use their refried beans and make pico de gallo with guacamole on top tacos. Their birria is also a must, ask for little or no liquid or you'll pay by the pound for the juice. Have had their carnitas and buche which I like for tacos. Their Mexican Rice is bomb and always just right...I can't make to save my life! All their produce is usually good, just some things are very pricey (jalapeños, tomatoes, cilantro and few more). They have ground frozen Venison for making Premium Burgers. Love the Central American Sour Cream (aka Salvdorean), is richer than the plain Jane normal one! Have had their Al Pastor Burrito and cannot say anything good about it, subpar. Be ready to spend a few to several minutes there as it's never a dull moment. Also, there is a lot of staff behind the counters that just ignore you unless you have a pretty face!!! read more

Sopes are not served as it should be. The chef placed the sope with beans, meat, and cream and then, on top of them, they threw an entire salad with lettuce, big slices of tomatoes and onions. That is not a sope. Please, with all the respect, google a sope recipe and follow it. It's awful to buy a fake sope. We're looking for the authentic Mexican food. I promise you that the recipe was less complicated than what you served to us. The salsas were not hot at all. The chicharrones were ok and the ceviche tostada fine. We bought bolillos and ham. I'll tell you later about the choco flan and the sweet camote. I will still come back because this store is awesome, full of Hispanic yummies. You will not get rid of me. I support Latin businesses. The service was fast and super friendly. That's the best of this store, it's people. They are super nice people... all areas. They treated me with respect and attention. ¡Gracias! read more

Love this place! Every time we go through Carson City we stop here. The carne asada is always tender and has good flavor. Serving sizes are generous.

The carne asada torta is my favorite! read more
